I guess I am old enough now to be in a constant state of shock over Jean fashion trends. My options at "popular brand" seem to be ultra low rise, baggy clown pants, or super flared bells (which teen me would of loved.) The only boot cuts they offered had fake pockets. Goddess have mercy 🙏

Had a lovely evening watching the solar eclipse and sunset over looking Stockholm's waterfront. We got cloud cover right at the peak but we still were able to enjoy the event without it being spoiled. 🌄😎 Sidenote: Shocked how many in the crowd had no eye protection 😳 🙈

Almost the peak totality, we got 80% coverage in Sweden

✨🌟✨IT'S RELEASE MONTH!✨🌟✨ My debut sci-fi romance, The Stars Will Be Our Ocean, officially releases July 14th! If you like... 🏳️‍🌈 Queer space opera 😘 Slow-burn alien/human romance 🫂 Hurt/comfort and found family Then check out my purchasing and review links at lizzieblackwood.carrd.co

Coming July 14th
Her world is dying. His world cast him out. Together, they can change a galaxy.
The Stars Will Be Our Ocean by Lizzie Blackwood

Cover:
Book cover for The Stars Will Be Our Ocean:
The title texts floats among a starry background mingling with nebulous blue gasses with the author name “Lizzie Blackwood” at the bottom. Two figures float together at the center, holding hands as though dancing and smiling at each other. The figure on the left is a sharklike humanoid with a finlike crest off the back of his head wearing complex but form-fitting armor. The figure on the right is a human woman with pale skin and short black hair wearing a back jacket, shirt, pants, and boots.

For fans of Mass Effect, A Memory Called Empire, and The Shape of Water comes a story of love between outcasts caught in the mire of intergalactic politics.

First contact with the vast spacefaring empire of the Reshketh seemed like a miraculous boon for Humanity, trapped on a dying Earth. But in pursuit of an alliance, something has gone terribly wrong, and it’s up to cultural advisor Jenna Kalandra to figure out why before it’s too late. The only problems are that she has no information, no connections, and her own Ambassador hates her just for existing.

Jenna isn’t one to give up easily, but she’ll need the help of a mischievous AI, an inventive Human tech, her no-nonsense ex-girlfriend, and one charmingly unprofessional Reshketh security guard named Tarek to survive her Ambassador’s wrath. Can these misfits find a way to save the alliance (and themselves) before prejudice dooms Humanity? And can Jenna’s friendship with the roguish Reshketh become something deeper when no one knows who to trust?

Strange Salvage is a 90k slow burn romance set against scifi fast paced adventure!

After rescuing a human lost is deep space, a down-on-her-luck salvager loses everything, only for their paths to cross again aboard a dangerous pirate vessel where revenge and unexpected romance await them as they search for a legendary shipwreck.

You ever pick up a read bc of a bookstore recc? I did, but respectfully disagree. Though probably a novel concept in its time, this 1956 classic inspired by the Count of Monte Cristo is steeped in SF pulp adventure (and a few TWs). I did enjoy the idea of human teleportation (jaunting). #scifi

Stars my Destination by Alfred Bester

This book was given the high praise "the best science fiction I ever read." By some random bookstore employee.

I enjoyed it for what it was but the main character was anything but likeable. Never a good sign when the protagonist commits r*pe in chapter 2...this book definitely feels its age.

Finally got around to Iain Bank's Culture series, starting with "Player of Games" Pleasantly surprised how much i enjoyed it. What I liked: - complex alien empire -The Culture's "hedonistic" utopia -artifical minds (ships & drones) living in harmony with organics (humans) -crazy raise in stakes

Player of Games is considered a must read for scifi lovers and has been on my TBR forever. While some may find the pacing slow, I was intresred by protagonist, Gurgeh's growing apathy at being the best player of games in the Culture mixed with his fear that he was slowly growing irrelevant and losing his competitive spirit. All that changes when a dysfunctional drone blackmail him into joining Contact, which sends him on a mission to play games in a distant alien empire that threatens the Culture's way of life.

The tunnel was tight. His shoulders scraped both walls as he crawled on his hands and knees. The floor beneath him felt oddly pliable and spongy, flexing under his weight like a wet carpet. Moisture from the walls soaked into his sleeves.
He tried and failed not to think too hard about what he was crawling through. He imagined a throat that could choose to swallow him at any moment.
“You sure this is safe?” he called ahead. She didn’t answer him, but glanced over her shoulder and offered him a flash of her lemon-slice grin.
“Lovely.” He muttered, trying not to slip as he rounded a bend in the tunnel. His knees were now soaked with…something. “I will need an industrial-strength shower after this.”
